THE REASON I LOVE TO COOK (2).

My fruit mince cake was offered to my friends with coffee, I explained my recipe. Maureen took my offer on a piece of cake and her her honest comments.... the texture is unlike to 'the traditional' fruit cake, but yes she liked it. Maureen's husband declined my offer, but after Maureen had sampled the cake, she encouraged her husband Roel to try a piece, Roel does not eat sweets. The cake is not overly sweet and Roel ate the cake and nodded in acceptance. I will continue to create my own recipes and I encourage you to do so. Start small, go with your thoughts and know your ingredients and how they react, and do not forget to write your recipe down.
